[quote name='dc2009' timestamp='1312722502' post='1330948'] . My Dean edge has a super thin neck (thinner than an ibanez) I don't know if this applies to the 5th variants but they may be worth considering. [/quote] I can confirm that the Dean 5 stringers also have very fast necks. Mines an older CZ Custom, don't know about newer ones.

That's the one. It pretty much answers all the things I was curious about. Wenge fingerbourd? is that good or bad I dunno. Shame the add isn't dated. Thanks M8

Sorry no pictures other than the gumtree link yet. Yes it has a cutlass blade/talon shaped inlay on the 12th fret. No other dots or inlays. On the back of the headstock it also says "Dean Europe Custom Special" and below the serial number it says "Hand Crafted in the Czech Republic". Head stock is quilted amber colour, with the word Dean in a hand written style up the center. The head is kind of curvey with an uneven V in the top, gets a little thinner as you go down before getting wider at the lower tuning heads before slimming at the nut, which is brass. Re: Dean still make some lovely instruments but unfortunately, like BC Rich, they get classed as low end heavy metal guitars by people who have never seen or played the older US models. Same applies to Schecters Guitars , which I love dearly. I have got 3 beauties and have never considered upgrading because to me they are my favourites. Their Basses are good quality too but they aren't as strong on basses as they are on leads.. Thanks for the reply, I'll stick some dean pictures up when I get them. Note: Searches on Dean Improv 5 don't seem to turn up much information at all. There is a link to this sunburst version: [url="http://www.deanguitars.com/content/endorsees/shawnw.html"]http://www.deanguita...ees/shawnw.html[/url]

Dean isn't a name I see around here much and but I'm hoping that someone can confirm that this is what I think it is. I couldn't find any information from searching. It's a Dean 5 Strnger. The previous owner said he thought it was a Dean Edge Improv from about 2001. I know that modern Dean Edge guitars are now at the cheap end of the market but my gut feeling is that its a quality designed guitar. It is in great condition with a great neck, nice sound and the finish seems excellent . The advert is still up on UK Gumtree at the moment so you should be able to see pictures here: [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/dean-edge-5-string-bass-offers-or-trade/102986186"]http://www.gumtree.c...trade/102986186[/url] Other details are a see-through Amber finish, the neck coninues for the length of the body, active EMG's, gold fittings, Schaller? tuners. The model number is 93981 and is says it was made in the Czech republic. I'm also making inquries on the Dean Forum. Any information would be much appreciated, including value-although I got it to play not sell. Cheers Ed

I have two basses I bought 2nd hand. A Scector Custom 4 and a Spector Legend. I was falling into the trap of lusting after lots of basses I saw on here. I got the schecter pretty cheap so didn't really value it that highly. I was planning on selling upgrading but I have a feeling that I would miss it so I'm sticking with it for a while at least. It is light, well made and sounds great for live play. Why change?

Yep you came over loud and clear

I heard it today and it sounded good to me!

[quote name='musophilr' timestamp='1336401515' post='1645033'] Another nice one! To get the vocal sound did you put it through a guitarist's OD pedal with some vicious EQ? Nice lively drum sound [/quote] Nope I just use some of the standard Garageband effects and play with them a bit. From memory its the "megaphone" with some additional echo and delay I also like the hip-pop and dance vocal effects. My voice is naturally pretty low anyway. Thanks again for the comments. I'm very busy at the moment and having trouble justifying time spent recording to myself at the moment

I should be able to hear it in person tomorrow.

Yep that sounds like the problem

Ed's thought for the day Why do I keep imagining that I really need stuff and then find I don't use it, while other times I end up with stuff almost by accident and love it? Examples: Bassballs, wasn't looking for one but was offered one along with a guitar case. Found an immediate use for it recordiing. Harke VXL Bass Attack, bought it 2nd hand to try it and I now use it all the time. I seem to find the sounds I want really easily. Boss ODB3 distortion pedal. It sounds how I expected and I just don't use it. So what do I do yestarday? I just purchase a MXR Bass Blowtorch. It hasn't arrived and I'm already asking myself "why?" I don't use the distortion pedal I have. What I want and what I end up uising all seems too random to me, I think there is some sort of disconnect between my ears and my head or maybe its just good marketting?

Sure would love to hear it, Judging by the forcast I hope its waterproof! I've agreed to by a 2nd hand Hartke VX 410. i'll see how that goes,.

Nice, I just sat down to listen to this with a whisky and its whisky drinkin music!
